Conflicts of Worldviews and Private International Law

An original and thought-provoking re-reading of private international law that uncovers its weakness when addressing postcolonial claims and better balances the non-Western perspectives in the field.

This book connects private international law with decolonial theory.

Succinctly put, this theory calls for an alternative production of knowledge which follows non-Western sources. The author examines 3 case studies: namely religious arbitration, Indigenous sacred land, and faith-based politics, to illustrate how poorly postcolonial claims are served by Western state courts. To address this, the book proposes an alternative theory to re-empower non-Western worldviews while considering distinct instances of vulnerability.

This is an important work, thought-provoking and challenging, which should be read by all private international law scholars.
